Sky+ HD Box is now Half Price

[skypaulusplus]

does anyone know if when you ring up to order if you have to pay upfront off a card or can it be added on to your bill

[skypaulusplus]

found out, first person said it can be added to account, then order person said no. they seem very relaxed about the offer. first person asked if i wanted sports added, but when i asked if it was on offer he said nothing

So have you ordered it now?

I thought you didn't want the £10 per month HD subs.

had an idea, could this be a scheme to get rid of the boxes that wont handle or be bad at using the new epg?

Referring to skypaulusplus post 6
I presently have an older model Sky+ box and have had it some years, hence it does not have sky anytime on it and has a smaller hard drive than other people that I know who got sky+ later, so although paying the same as them, I am not getting the same service from the box being an older model
Before I go for this offer, should I be aware of anything regarding the HD boxes?ie.EPGuide, box memory size etc. As I believe there are now three manufacturers of HD boxes.
As sky terms state they decide which equipment is provided

[NewsreadeR]

They all have their good and bad points.

Thompson box - PSU issues, although I have had mine for a year with zero issues

Pace box - lipsync issues, Sky are aware and working on a fix - Had mine for two weeks and upgraded the HDD to 1TB - I have the lipsync issue, but am prepared to beta test new technology.

Samsung box - not a lot in the field - therefore not much to report

For £75 its a steal

[Robbo]

Newsreader Is the new EPG mentioned released? do both of your boxes handle it OK, if so.
I agree the price is now a steal.

[NewsreadeR]

Unofficially, the new EPG will be delayed. How true or not this is, I have no idea.

Like anything, its new, and pointless releasing until its mostly right.

[Robbo]

One more question before I order, do the HD boxes still have the RF2 facility to allow you to watch via tv link on another tv?

[NewsreadeR]

Here's the back of the Pace one, I would assume, the Samsung is the same.
